Academic Integrity
The International College of Management, Sydney (ICMS), Aspire Institute, Aspire English and the International Sport College of Australia (ISCA), endeavour to create a culture of academic integrity by encouraging and supporting our students to meet the academic standards and learn with honesty.
ICMS has considered the academic integrity response to artificial intelligence (AI) tools and updated the Academic Integrity Policy and Procedures in 2022. The revised policies and procedures and a new Academic Integrity Partnerships model are now part of business as usual to ensure the integrity of ICMS degrees. As our context evolves, we will implement further meaningful measures as needed.
Academic Scholarship
In pursuit of building on an existing reputation as an industry leader within the Australian higher education landscape, the International College of Management, Sydney (ICMS) is taking steps to ensure continued scholarly engagement that positively impacts on students, faculty, and industry.
“One of our strategic goals is the alignment of teaching, learning, and scholarship advances with our distinct disciplines and fields of study, which we are keen to share with wider academic and industry audiences to strengthen ICMS’s scholarly reputation,” ICMS DVC (Learning and Teaching) Dr Heidi Le Sueur (PhD) said.
“It is our ambition to build our position as a leader among private providers in Australia, known for educational excellence and scholarship with a strong industry focus, thereby reinforcing the value of our institution in the higher education sector and, most importantly, adding value for our students.”
ICMS Graduate Capabilities

At ICMS, we aspire to equip our students with essential skills that are applicable in a range of contexts in their career and life by the time they graduate. These capabilities (skills) are what employers ask for.
Graduate capabilities will enhance employment opportunities and lead to success in the future career and life.
